Adolescence star Owen Cooper becomes Emmys’ youngest ever nominee

Adolescence star Owen Cooper made Emmy history as one of the youngest ever to be nominated for this year’s awards.

The 15-year-old British actor has bagged the nomination for best supporting actor in a limited/anthology series or TV movie. If he wins, Cooper will be the youngest male winner of an acting Emmy.

Leading the pack of nominations this year is the workplace satire Severance, followed by The Penguin, and The White Lotus.

Britt Lower, Quinta Brunson, Harrison Ford and Jeremy Allen White are among the stars competing for the top prizes for acting.

The Studio, The Bear, Abbott Elementary and Shrinking are among the contenders in the comedy categories.

RuPaul became the most-nominated reality host in Emmys history for his show RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Harrison Ford earned his first career Emmy nomination at age 83 for his role in the show Shrinking.
The actors and best TV shows will be honoured at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on 14 September.
Here is the full list of nominees announced on Tuesday.
